Advantages of Pellet Boilers

There are many advantages to using pellet boilers, including:

When wood pellets are used for heating, it can help reduce your energy bills substantially.

You get to enjoy the same level of comfort as you would from a traditional type of boiler unit.

The technology has proven itself tremendously, with millions of these units being installed around the world each year.

The wood pellets are far easier and more convenient to use that traditional firewood.

In some cases, rebates can be obtained when installing these boiler units.

Fuel cost savings can amount to hundreds of pounds over the course of one year.

Possible Disadvantages

While pellet boilers certainly do have their advantages, they also come with a unique set of disadvantages that homeowners should consider before they commit.

Bulk - Pellets take up far more storage space than oil or even LPG. It takes about 7.5 kilograms of pellets to produce the same amount of heat as an imperial gallon of heating oil, which means you’ll need to set aside more space for dry, fireproof storage.

Lack of Convenience - Pellets are not as convenient as traditional boiler systems because they require the homeowner to manually add pellets to the system.

Maintenance - Many pellet boilers, and especially wood pellet boilers, must be cleaned manually week to maintain their efficiency. This is a cumbersome and time-consuming task, and while it can be done professionally, it can become costly quite quickly. What’s more, the ash bin must be emptied regularly, and this can be a tough job for one person.

Flues and Chimneys - Whenever you burn something, whether it’s a gas or a solid, the combustion gases that occur must have room to escape safely. Most pellet boilers have something of a cross between a flue and chimney; it’s larger than a standard flue, but usually not quite as large as the chimney attached to a traditional fireplace. These must be cleaned at least once per year to remove the buildup of dangerous materials that can present a serious fire hazard over time.

Pellet Boiler Costs

Average prices can vary depending on the size of the area that needs to be heated and the storage space necessary for the pellets. As technology improves, costs for Maddiston pellet boilers are expected to decrease. Transportation costs for the pellets can affect the final price you pay for the product and the location of your home can also impact installation costs.

Boiler Efficiency Comparison

Believe it or not, many of today’s pellet boilers are just as efficient as traditional boilers. In fact, depending on the type of pellets you use, you may be eligible for incentives for using renewable energy sources. When you choose the right size boiler and the right type of fuel, it’s possible to heat your home and your water supply for less than traditional municipality-provided fuels. Part of maintaining this high efficiency, though, is proper maintenance, and this can become time-consuming when it comes to pellet boilers.

Do Not Attempt a DIY Installation

Let’s face it. Owning a home is expensive nowadays, especially where the various forms of maintenance are concerned. This often results in homeowners either trying to shop around for the cheapest prices or even going as far as attempting to install a pellet boiler unit themselves. However, when a pellet boiler is not installed by an accredited and experienced Maddiston engineer, you will not only lose your warranty; if it malfunctions and causes injury to you or a family member or damage occurs to your property as a result thereof, your homeowner’s insurance policy will most likely not cover these expenses.

Your Maddiston pellet boiler questions answered

Like their name suggests, pellet boilers burn wooden pellets that are made up of wood waste like sawdust, bark and wood chips. They are light weight and easy to load into a hopper that automatically drops them into the boiler when needed.

Wood pellet boilers, while not as expensive as some of the other options, may still set you back about £8-10,000. This will vary with depending on the size of your home and the amount of coverage that you need.

The average lifespan of a pellet boiler is 15-20 years, but this can vary depending on the amount of maintenance that is performed during its life. A poorly maintained boiler can break down beyond repair in less than 5 years.

Pellets are available in a variety of materials, but the most common is hardwood. Any wood that would normally be used in a wood-burning stove can be made into pellets, which burn more evenly and therefore more efficiently than split logs. Pellets may also be made of biomass, such as bamboo or even sugar cane. Corn pellets produce the same heat as wood and are more renewable, but they produce far more ash, which is why homeowners tend to avoid them despite their overall low cost when compared to other materials.

There are two things to consider when it comes to pellet storage: moisture and combustion. Pellets will only burn properly if they’re kept perfectly dry, and they must be kept away from any source of extreme heat, spark, or open flame since they will catch fire very easily. Most homeowners tend to keep them in stacks in their basements, or for very large properties, in a smaller version of a farm silo outdoors.

The time required to install and set up a pellet based boiler will depend on where it is being installed and whether it is replacing an existing unit or not. Our network of qualified installers will be able to provide you with a more accurate timeframe after inspecting your property.

Having your boiler professionally installed will ensure that it serves you for many years to come, while also keeping your warranty intact. Pellet fired boilers that are not professionally installed will not normally be provided with a warranty from the manufacturer.
